To all the melee players out there...
|
my infernal blow, leap slam, whirlwind staff templar didn't really gain or loose anything(i only tweaked my build a little bit) but I can definitely survive a lot easier on regular mobs. Bosses are still tough but my gear isn't what you would call superb. I was easily holding my own in lunaris temple and catacombs solo were before i was pretty reliant on being in a party to farm these areas at a reasonable pace. Didn't get a chance to try any maps yet but i expect similar results. people that were expecting to log and face roll their way through maps will be disappointed but my first impressions are good.

" And about Kole, I used to be able to facetank his ass really well since i use a blind support gem in my cleave. I had high enough HP that i could survive one of his attacks getting through even though he is blinded. Now, I must run like a little girl because he still hits just as hard, I have less HP so i cant even survive one big hit, and blind doesnt seem to be working at all. GG guess its time for us all to roll FP. |

" Maps are messed up, considering that one crit will still shred all of your armor and the damn enemies still hit like trucks, melee is much worse off now. |
|
" So what its looking like is INT characters were buffed somehow while EVA character get the shaft. Too bad I dont have enough INT to run high lvl Flicker. |

" Flicker is a green gem,and i have higher dext than int :D . https://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/417287 - Poutsos Flicker Nuke Shadow

Kole killed me so fast I didn't even have time to react.

I respecced 7 points using regrets to get my HP from 3.5k to 3.9k. Tanking Kole and Piety is now doable, but I'm chugging pots a bit more than usual to pull it off.
Can't say this patch did melee any good aside from physical damage boost. For Ranger build tips, tactics, and critiques, visit this thread: http://www.pathofexile.com/forum/view-thread/69224 Last edited by Islidox#7754 on Jun 6, 2013, 8:57:20 AM

+1k cleave dps
I am about just as squishy, if not a little squishier, than before. I think Kole took out higher % of my hp per hit. Can I respec? Probably not. I can't take any hp off, so basically this patch did nothing but nerf my melee cleaver. Last edited by Idioticus#7813 on Jun 6, 2013, 12:52:29 AM

This post makes me sad. I decided to stop playing the game a couple months ago till they fixed melee. Saw what they planned on doing with the 4 month race plus their ideas on "fixing" melee and was happy. I'll still give the 4month a try but if it feels the same (or heaven forbid worse) I'll probably just uninstall PoE at this point and that's a hard pill to swallow. The game has so much potential if GGG could just manage to balance things better.
